This article investigates verb placement, especially verb second (V2), in post-puberty L2 learners of two closely related Germanic V2-languages, Swedish and German. Håkansson, Pienemann & Sayehli (2002) have adduced data from L1 Swedish-speaking learners of German in support of the claim that the syntactic property of V2 never transfers from the L1 to L2 interlanguage grammars. Regardless of L
Environmental manipulation experiments showed that species respond individualistically to each environmental-change variable. The greatest responses of plants were generally to nutrient, particularly nitrogen, addition. Summer warming experiments showed that woody plant responses were dominant and that mosses and lichens became less abundant. Responses to warming were controlled by moisture availa
BACKGROUND: The Collaborative Group on Hormonal Factors in Breast Cancer has brought together the worldwide epidemiological evidence on the possible relation between breast cancer and previous spontaneous and induced abortions. METHODS: Data on individual women from 53 studies undertaken in 16 countries with liberal abortion laws were checked and analysed centrally. Relative risks of breast cancer
Intrastriatal grafts of embryonic mesencephalic tissue can survive in the brains of patients with Parkinson's disease, but the degree of symptomatic relief is highly variable and some cases develop troublesome dyskinesias. Here we explored, using clinical assessment and F-18-dopa and C-11-raclopride PET, factors which may influence the functional outcome after transplantation. We observed increase
Popular Abstract in Danish Omkring halvdelen af den globale kulstof mængde som findes i jorden, er lagret i de arktiske jorde. Arktiske jorde har været anset for at være vigtige kulstof reservoirs de sidste 10.000 år, hvor der bliver optaget mere kulstof end der frigives. Dette skyldes blandt andet den langsomme omsætning af organiske materiale på grund af de kolde forhold, men også de store mængd
This thesis is about the conceptualization of persistence of physical, middle-sized objects within the theoretical framework of the revisionary ‘B-theory’ of time. According to the B-theory, time does not flow, but is an extended and inherently directed fourth dimension along which the history of the universe is ‘laid out’ once and for all. It is a widespread view among philosophers that if we acc
Popular Abstract in Swedish C4b-bindande protein (C4BP) är involverat i regleringen av två kaskadliknande system, komplementsystemet och koagulationssystemet. Komplementsystemet har fått sitt namn av att det kompletterar antikropparna i immunförsvaret. Det består av en serie reaktioner som leder till oskadliggörandet av bakterier och andra mikroorganismer. Genom sin förmåga att binda till och inakC4b-binding protein (C4BP) is an acute-phase plasma glycoprotein which regulates the complement system through its affinity for C4b. In addition, C4BP binds to the anticoagulant protein S and to serum amyloid P component (SAP). Protein S is a vitamin K-dependent protein which looses its anticoagulant properties when binding to C4BP. C4BP is composed of two types of subunits, the a-chain and the b-
Popular Abstract in Swedish I många organisationer och företag har vi idag allt äldre medarbetare. Detta kommer troligen att bli ett bekymmer en bit in på 2000-talet, då medarbetare och chefer blir allt äldre eller går i pension. Rekryteringen av nya medarbetare innebär att man får in unga människor, som ofta är mer välutbildade och som har andra värderingar och attityder till arbete och styrning.Research has indicated that there is a growing tendency for young, well-educated people to hold different values toward work and management of work than previous generations. Thus managerial difficulties can arise when these different generations collaborate at work. In order to survive organisations and companies need a managerial leadership that knows how the younger workers view leadership, how
In "Temperate Women. Educators, Entrepreneurs and Political Agents. The White Ribbon 1900–1930" the female Christian temperance union, the White Ribbon, is in focus. The organization’s ambition was to create a temperate and moral society, running a variety of philanthropic institutions and adult education, as well as non-alcohol restaurants. The aim of the thesis is to study the White Ribbon’s s
The organisational network of global environmental governance (GEG) mirrors the complexity of the planet's manifold and overlapping ecosystems. Bursting onto the international stage in the 1970s, environmental issues began to be addressed by a series of new international organisations, most of them affiliated with the United Nations. Some of them, such as the United Nations Environment Programme (
Popular Abstract in Swedish Järn är ett metalliskt grundämne som tillhör övergångselementen i det periodiska systemet. Den kemiska beteckningen är Fe (av det latinska ordet ferrum). Järn har visat sig vara ett väldigt viktigt ämne för i princip allt liv på vår planet. Främst finns det bundet till olika proteiner i form av järnsvavelkluster och hem. Hem är en liten molekyl som finns i de allra fle
Soft x-ray emission spectroscopy is a common tool for the study of the electronic structure of molecules and solids. However, the interpretation of spectra is sometimes made difficult by overlaying lines due to satellite transitions or close-lying core holes. Also, irrelevant inner core transitions may accidentally fall in the wavelength region under study. These problems, which often arise for sp
Popular Abstract in Swedish Klorofyllsyntes är en viktig process i naturen. De gröna pigmenten utgör en viktig del i fotosyntesen där de absorberar och överför solenergi till fotosyntetiska reaktionscentra. Magnesium kelatas katalyserar insättandet av en magnesium (II) jon i protoporfyrin IX, vilket är det första specifika steget i klorofyllsyntesen. Magnesium kelatas består av tre proteiner, som The biosynthesis of chlorophylls is an important process in nature. The green pigments play a fundamental role in absorbing and transferring solar energy to the photosynthetic apparatus. This thesis elucidates the role and function of the enzyme magnesium chelatase, which catalyses the insertion of magnesium (II) into protoporphyrin IX and is the first committed enzyme of the chlorophyll biosynthe
The fact that a growing number of pathogens develop resistance against traditional treatment is a growing medical problem. Infections, which until now have been harmless, might turn into life threatening diseases. These problems have led to an intensified search for alternative treatments. Analogs of cell surface glycoconjugates are an alternative. Ideally they prevent the adhesion of the pathogen
